The new cryptic teaser, posted on Wake Up Dead Man's official Twitter page, pans up an old church while its bells toll in the background. But it's not the video that's the most interesting thing; it's the caption, which reads, "The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root o༺f the righteous endures."

That quote is from the bible, Proverbs 12:12🅰. Although the words may tease the movie’s plot, I think 12:12 could well be the movie's release date, December 12, 2025, which just so happens to be a Friday.

Plus, we know that Wake Up Dead Man😼 might be getting a theatrical release just like its predecessor, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, did. And what day do movies tend to release in theaters? That’s right, on a Friday.

Could Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery be hitting theaters this December? I thi🎉nk so. Check out the post below.

Aside from teasing the date, the quote is important too. Proverbs 12:12 suggests that wicked people are never content with what they have and are often jealous of other evil people for their possessions. We all know that the Knives Out franchise loves to give its rich and entitled characters their just desserts, so Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc facing up to some more wealthy wrong-doers in Wake Up Dead Man wouldn't be too out o༒f the ordinary.

As for the video, we already had an idea that Wake Up Dead Man would be set somewhat in a church, as the movie’s first look, which you can see below, shows Craig and newcomer Josh O’Connor standing inside a church. However, the new look at the building from the outside suggests the third movie could well be set in England. But this is not a huge shock as production did take place in the UK last𓆏 y💎ear.

Netflix is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest in terms of what Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will entail. The movie’s log൲line simply reads, "Benoit Blanc returns for his most dangerous case yet," which gives nothing away other than that Craig’s detective is returning. L🍸et’s hope that the movie drops more cryptic clues ready for us to crack.

Directed by Rian Johnson, the movie also stars 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Challe🍸ngers’ ꦍO’Connor, Pricilla’s Cailee Spaney, Scand🐷al’s Kerry Washington, and Fatal Attraction’s Glenn Clꩲose.

, one user wrote that watching Lord of the Rings got them thinking about which movies have perfect casting. They posed the question: "What ൲are other movies where every character is exactly right for their role?"

"The 90s version of The Addams Family. Especially Anjelica and Raul but the en🍌tire cast were just perfection for me," .  Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia played Morticia and Gomez Addams in The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values, both directed by Barry Sonnefeld. The third movie saw Daryl Hannah and Tim Curry take over as the leads after Julia's passin𒆙g (and, in my opinion, were miscast).

"Back to the Future. Thank god they replaced Eric Stoltz with Michael J Fox. The perfectly cast Christopher Lloyd and Fox hav𒅌e great chemistry. With Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and𝐆 a really great Thomas F Wilson, they nailed it," . 

In Still, the 2023 documentary about Michael J. Fox's career and P♛arkinson's diagnosis, we get some early footage of Stoltz as Marty McFly... and it just doesn't෴ hit the same. Fox filmed Back to the Future at night, while also filming the hit sitcom Family Ties by day. He showed up to set delirious and sleep-deprived, which added to Marty's rather chaotic nature - and it's hard to imagine him any other way.

"Knives Out. Wasn’t su൲re who did it to start with how stacked the cast is. I feel the way about all the characters that I’m supposed to by the end. It does feel 🃏weird to see Daniel Craig as a detective from the American South is a perfect choice, but it works for me," .

"I'm shocked that I got here this late and𝓀 am still the first person to mention Clue," . "Martin Mull, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, C𒅌hristopher Lloyd, Michael McKeen, Lee Ving...plus all the ones I'm forgetting because I'm going off the top of my head. I mean, that's an All-Star cast. They cast Lee Ving as Mr. Body for the pun! And he nailed it anyway despite never acting in anything else before or since."

"Pulp Fiction. Samuel Jackson was so good as Jules Winfield he is still playing that character to this day, and I donꦆ’t think anybody else could have pulled off Christopher Walken’s short monologue better. Add to that, Travolta, Thurman, Rhames, and Thurman all gave career-best performances," .

Posted by , the im𒁃age sees Daniel Craig's detective wearing an expectedly dapper ensemble: a three-piece suit, with a crisp shirt and dressy tie. No neckerchiefs in sight th📖is time around... Blanc looks to be holding a fedora hat, too, and sporting a new longer hair 'do and facial stubble.

But it's the fact that the snap, taken by Johnson himself, is in black and white that has caught our – and fans' – attention, it seems. Might the film be in black and white?! We'd be so here for it, if so🌄.

"Aaaaand w🌼e&apos꧒;re off! Today is day 1 of shooting on the next Benoit Blanc mystery Wake Up Dead Man - see you on the other side," Johnson, who is directing the flick from his own original script, said in his own post. 

The third Knives Out installment, which will once ag🐻ain see Blanc try to solve a head-scratchingly twisty whodunnit, has been confirming cast members thick and fast over the last few weeks. So far, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Josh O'Connor, Kerry Washington, Cailee Spaeꦿny, Josh Brolin, and more have joined the flick – and there could be further announcements in store. We'll be sure to keep you posted.

Last time we saw Blanc, he was flexing his sleuthing chops in 2022's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, where he and several others were invited to the secluded Greek island of tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). When one of the guests win🌌ds up dead, Blanc must identify the killer before it's too late.

Character and p𒅌lot details for the upcoming film remain a mystery.

Haden Church is perhaps best known for his role as Flint Marko aka Sandman in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 and reprised the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. He can be seen as Agent Stone in the live-action video game adaptation Twisted Metal and is currently filming parts 1 and 2 of Kevin Costner's four-part epic western Horizon:🅺 An American Saga.

The first film saw Benoit Blanc investigate a murder surrounding a wealthy dysfunctional family, with the second seeing the detective attend a murder mystery party thrown b🌠y an eccentric tech billionaire played by Edward Norton.

Brolin has played everyone from former United States President George W. Bush in W. to a young version of Tommy Lee's Agent K in Men in Black 3, and Cable (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:yes, that Cable) in Deadpool 2. Younger generations know him best as Thanos, the supervillain to end all supervillains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and as War Master of the House Atreides Gurney Halleck in Dune and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune: Part Two.

The third installment in Rian Johnson's massively successful Knives Out franchise marks Renner's first feature-length project following the 2023 snow plow incident that nearly claimed his life. The actor has since made a miracuꦺlous recovery, filming a Super Bowl commercial, a commercial for running shoes (in which he recounts the fact that doctors told him he likely wouldn't walk again), and season 3 of his successful Paramount Plus series Mayor of Kingston. 

We're hopeful Renner will also return to the Marvel world in the next Avengers movie (despite handing over the Hawkeye mantle to Hailee Steinfeld&a🅠pos;s Kat🐭e Bishop in the Hawkeye series finale).

Kunis recently starred in Luckiest Gir🅘l Alive and reprised her role as Jackie Burkhart in That '90s Show, a spin-off of the popular sitcom That '70s Show. She can be seen next in the comedy Goodrich, where she plays the daughter of a divorced art dealer (Michael Keaton).

As per and respectively, Scandal’s Kerry Washington and Fatal Attraction’s Glenn Close are joining Daniel Cr💙aig’s Benoit Blanc in the murder mystery.

As has become tradition for a Knives Out Mystery, Wake Up Dead Man features a who’s who of must-see talent. Those already announced include Ripley and Fleabag actor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Andrew Scott, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Civil War’s Cailee Spaen♏y, and Josh O’Connor – who is fresh off of serving ꩵup a storm෴ in steamy tennis drama Challengers. 

Their roles in the whodunnit aren’t yet clear but if past 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knives Out movies are any indication, it’s going to be a mix of contemporary archetypes and well-rounded characters poking fun at the ba🌊d and the beautiful of modern-day society.

Wake Up Dead Man – a name taken from a 1997 U2 track – was first announced earlier in May, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:complete with a Daniel C🧸raig-narrated t🀅easer that proclaimed B💫enoit Blanc's "most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed".

Whatever comes next, ex💦pect something radic🐎ally different to the frosty reception Benoit Blanc received by the Drysdales in 2019’s Knives Out and the sunny getaway-turned-mystery in Glass Onion.

"I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is," Rian Johnson prior to the announcement of the third Knives🎃 Out movie. “There’s a whole tonal spectrum from [John Dickson] Carr to [Agatha] Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of🍌 the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies."

Per , Scott joins the pic alongside Cailee Spa🍷eny (Pri♛scilla, Civil War) and Josh O'Connor (Challengers). Johnson shared a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:brief teaser on his social media accounts last week, announcing the titไle, release window, and Daniel Craig's return to the role of Benoit Blanc.

"I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is," Johnson ahead of the title and teaser announcement.

Scott starred alongside Craig in Spectre, his second-to-last film as James Bond. The actor is perhaps best known for his role as cunning villain Moriarty in Sherlock (which inspired the Billie Eilish song 'You Should See Me in a Crown') and as the 'Hot Priest' in Fleabag season 2. He most recently starred in the critically acclaimed romantic fantasy film 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:All of Us Strangers, starring opposite Paul Mescal.

Production on the movie, which is offi♊cially titled Wake Up D🐼ead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, is due to start next month. Other actors like Tom Hardy and Lindsay Lohan have been rumored to be involved with the project, but Craig, O'Connor, and Spaeny are the only confirmed stars. No plot details have been revealed, but it sounds like✱ it might be going in a different direction from 2019's Knives Out and 2022's Glass Onion.

O'Connor's recent projects include tennis drama 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Challengers, opposite Zendaya and Mike Faist, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Italian drama La Chimera alongside Isabella Rosse🐭llini. He's also known for his role as Prince Charles in Netflix series The Crown, for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe. 

Spaeny, meanwhile, most recently starred in Alex Garland's actioner 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Civil War and Sofia Coppola's biopic 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Priscilla and can next be seen in Alien: Romulus, the ꦆnext movie in the Alien franchise.  

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will be released sometime in 2025. For more, check out our guide to this year's biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.

Johnson shared a brief teaser on his social media accounts, revealing that Wake Up Dead Man is slated for a 2025 release date – and that Craig will indeed return a🦩s Detective Benoit Blanc.  

“In the beginning, the knܫives came out. Then, be🍸hold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed,” Craig narrates in the teaser. Plot details have yet to be revealed.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knives Out followed Benoit Blanc as he investigated the murder of a wealthy patriarch in a dysfunctional family. The film grossed $312 million against a budget of only $40 million. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Glass Onion, which had a one-week limited theatrical release before heading to Netflix, saw Blanc end up on a remote island in Greece f📖or what appears to be a harmless 'murder mystery weekend' held by a tech billionaire – before, of course, a murder occurs. The sequel received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 95th Annual Academy Awards.

The first movie, Knives Out, took its name from a Radiohead song. Glaꦛss Onion is a song off The Beatles' White Album, and the film included plenty of Beatles Easter eggs. 'Wake Up Dead Man' is a deep cut from the 1997 U2 album Pop.

"No one shou💯ld be judging Chris, he’s a fantastic actor…this is only about what’s right and Charles should have been offered the rol🔴e," Strong , after commenting publicly on Pratt's casting in the lead role. 

"V꧅oice actors - I’m gonna put my heart and soul in this for at least 20 years, help sell billions in merch, make the studios millions of dollars and make generations around the world happy. Hollywood - We don’t care," she .

After asking her 430,000+ followers to share their favorite stories about Martinet becausꦜe "a certain earth angel could use some love tonight", Mario himself popped up in her mentions.

"I love you, Tara! Than🦩k you so much!" Charles Martinet tweeted in reply. "Thank you, everybody!  Your love and kindness mean more than you could ever know and genuinely touched 🉐my heart. My little eyes seem to be leaking today… with tender affection. Thank you…"

Have you seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Super Mario Bros Movie trailer yet? One character that we didn't expect so many people to instantly fall in love with was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the penguin king - at least, that's what Hope thinks.

The trailer starts off with a scene where Bowser is attempting to infiltrate the penguin's kingdom and although this scene is probably pretty standard if you're not very familiar with Mario's catalog of games, most Super Mario fans spotted that this group of penguins ha🤪s actually been part of Mario's adventures for several years now.

In case you missed it, today 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo announced a new Direct 🧜for this Thursday all about the Mario movie, and in doing so revealed our very first look at the adaptation. The image shows a town of Toads and mushrooms and Cheep Cheeps and all sorts of Nintendoness, and front in ce👍nter is an ass so flat it looks concave. You can just make out the pouch of air in the back of Mario's jeans where a vacuum of space exists in place of his derrière.

If there's one thing that never goes unnoticed on the internet, it's an ass of disagreeable proportions. Overwatch's Tracer ushered in the originalꦅ "Buttgate" back in 2016, drawing around the sexualization of a female video game character, but the 2022 version of this caboose-centered controversy is a lot more silly, thankfully.

Behold, Buttgate '22.

As you can see, some folks are simply poking fun at the plump-less plumber, while others are arguing against Nintendo's logic here. It's true that you'd expect a far more robust ass from someone that does as much legwork as🐽 Mario, but you also have to keep in mind that he's been butt-stomping hard surfaces for like, 26 years. I can only imagine the kind of damage that's done to his ischia♌l tuberosity.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see if Chris Pratt's take on the character is any less or more flattering when the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario movie trailer debuts at New York Comic Con on Thursday.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The✤ Mario movie is set to premiere in April 2023.

Cline joins an ever-growing roster of high-profile talent to join the currently untitled Knives Out sequel. As Deadline notes, we don't know a whole lot about the plot of Knives Out 2, and likewise Cline's role in the se💛q💎uel is unknown right now. 

In case you haven't heard all the exciting casting news to come out of Knives Out 2, so far the all-star cast includes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dave Bautista, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Edward Norton, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kathryn Hahn, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Janelle Monáe, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kate Hudson, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Leslie Odom Jr., and, reprising his role as the brilliant private detective Benoit Blanc from the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knives Out, Daniel Craig. 

With all of those big names ﷽attached, it's natural to want to know how exactly everyone's involved, how they're connected, and since Knives Out 2 is likely to be another whodunnit, well... who dun it? But as I mentioned, the only thing we know about Knives Out 2 is that Craig's Benoi༺t Blanc is back at it with another big mystery to unfold. We also know production is scheduled to begin this summer in Greece, but that hardly tells us much about the story.

Rian Johnson is coming back to writ𒈔e and direct Kn🃏ives Out 2, despite having a fairly loaded schedule. The Last Jedi director is still cooking up another Star Wars movie, and plans are already underway for a third movie in the Knives Out saga. Then there's the upcoming Peacock mystery series starring Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll), which Johnson is also writing and directing.

Cline found breakout success in the 2020 Netflix series Outer Banks, in which she stars as Sarah Cameron, AKA princess of the Kooks, daughter of Ward Cameron and John B's love i𝓀nterest. Cline ꦗalso has acting credits in movies including Savannah Sunrise, Boy Erased, and This Is the Night, as well as TV series like Vice Principals, The Originals, and Stranger Things.

Unlike the games, the Monster Hunter movie's not pure fantasy: Jovovich's character leads a team of US army soldiers who are transported to a planet filled with monsters after a strange electrical storm. "Are we the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy now?" jokes one of the soldiers. On that planet, the squad are recruited by Tony Jaa's Hunter to assist in the꧂ir mutual survival. Watch the trailer below.

The Monster Hunter movie was originally due out earlier this year but was delayed until April 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, despite other movies being pushed back, Monster Hunter has been brought forward to this December. So we'll be escaping the cold and heading to the cinema to see this one. A 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:teaser released earlier this year revealed a little more information.

The Monster Hunter movie has been written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who has brought multipl🅘e games to the big screen. Previous works include 1995's Mortal Kombat and the Jovovich-starring Resident Evil series. Anderson has also directed 1997's Event Horizon and 2004's Alien vs. Predator.

While we await Monster Hunter to arrive on December 30 in the States, December 4 in the UK, make sure to check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best video-games movies of all time. Because there h﷽ave b๊een good movies based on games, we promise.

In the interview, Anderson talks about the movie's monsters, how Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa "dealt with those giant swords", Capcom's invol🐎vement, plus other "burning questions about his career".

In a separate interview also shared over the weekend, we also got a peek at the film's ver𒁏sions of Diablos and Rathalos in action. Here, take a peek (thanks, ):

The movie – which stars Milla Jovovich – was delayed from its original September release to April 23, 2021. However, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:last week Capcom dropped a new teaser that ended by promising the movie is out "only in theaters D🧸ecember", intimating the team has made up some of the time initially lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anderson is known for his work on various video game adaptations including 1995's Mortal Kombat and the Resident Evil film series that ended with Resident Evil: Final Chapter in 2016. Anderson also directed 1997's Eventܫ Horizon and 2004's Alien vs. Predator.

The plot of Monster Hunter follows Jovovich as Captain Natalie Artemis, a member of a US military team who falls into a portal a😼nd enters a foreign planet filled with hostile monsters. There, Jovovich and her military squad recruit Jaa's Hunter to assist in their mutual survival.

This isn't the only Capcom IP being translated into other forms of entertainment, of course. In addition to the Resident Evil Netflix series that was recently announced after reports last year indicated that a live-action show was in the works, the streaming service also recently confirmed yet another Resident Evil show is on its way – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.

The new Sherlock Holmes movie will be an adaptation Nancy Springer’s book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries, which features Enola, sister of Sherlock an💟d Mycroft, hunting for her missing mother after she disappears on Enola’s 16th birthday. Bobby Brown will star as Enola with Cavill as Sherlock.

Outside of that premise, not much is known about the upcoming Netflix movie. It’s simply “coming soon” and the cast also includes Bonha♚m Carter and Peaky Bliꦆnders actor Sam Claflin. As if it couldn’t get any more British, it’s also being directed by Harry Bradbeer, who helmed all 12 episodes of Fleabag.

In fact, this might be the next time we see Henry Cavill or Millie Bobby Brown on Netflix. Cavill is set to return as Geralt in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher season 2, though that has paused production for the time being. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 4, meanwhile, had only partially filmed sꦅcenes and completed table reads before the COVID-19 pandemic and is still without a rele♕ase date.

The short – titled What Did Jack Do? – sees Lynch's smoking detective exchange barbs with the animal, name🍰d Jack, at an apartment near a train station. According to the credits, the monkey is played by Jack Cruz, who appears as himself. The film comes it at just over 17 minutes, and makes for a remarkably strange watching experience.

What Did Jack Do? was filmed in 2016, and screened at Lynch's N♒ew York event, Festival of Disruption, in 2🐓018. However, it has never previously been available online before, and is essentially a Netflix original. Anyone with a subscription and a passing interest in Lynch's filmography should search the short out immediately.

points out that, a few m🃏onths ago, rumours swelled that Lynch and Netflix may be working togeth🍃er, as the director was spotted around the streaming service's HQ. Unfortunately, nothing has been announced as-yet regarding any new releases, though the release of the short film certainly shows that they have a working relationship. Whatever the case, it's exciting that Netflix are trying out weird and wonderful things like releasing a surreal short on one of our favourite filmmaker's birthdays.

Monster Hunter fans started to worry about the series' upcoming movie adaptation after lead actress Milla Jovovich - who you may know from the Resident Evil movi🐭es - shared some curious set photos which looked more like a modern military shooter than a Monster Hunter game. So the movi✅e's latest photo (via ) comes as a relief, as it looks much more authentic and will hopefully calm some disgruntled fans. 

The photo features Jovovich as original character Natalie Artemis, and actor Tony Jaa (who's starred in Furious 7 and several martial arts movies like Ong Bak) as the aptly named Hunter. Both are done up in gear taken straight from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter: World, with Jovovich sporting what seems like a mix of Odogaron, Alloy, and Hunter armor with a pair of dual blades that look to be from the ore tree. Jaa, meanwhile, is styled after the Field Leader from Worl🔥d, and is wielding the Giant Jawblade greatsword and the Great Hunter's bow, with what appears to be a bone sword on his back. Dual-wielding would be one thing, but where'd you get that hybrid loadout, mate? 

Speaking with IGN, director Paul W.S. Anderson described Jovovich as "the audience's avatar," so her armor is meant to represent the m🍒ixed sets Monster Hunter players routinel🌄y craft in their pursuit of the best stats and armor skills. Anderson also discussed some of the areas in the movie, including the Wildspire Waste-inspired desert in the new photo; the film will also feature rocky landscapes, lush jungles, and ancient ruins. 

Production house Screen🐠 Gem♐s also released the official plot synopsis. Here's the full blurb: 

"Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly fero⭕city. When Lt. Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her loyal soldiers are transported from our world to the new world, the unflappable lieutenant receives the shock of her life. In her desperate battle for survival against enormous enemies with incredible powers and unstoppable, revolting attacks, Artemis will team up with a mysterious man who has found a way to fight back." 

Personally, all I want from the Monster Hunter movie is 💎to see people smack cool CG monsters with oversized weapons, optionally while delivering cheesy B-movie one-liners. If it at least has that, I'll be happy. I'd also love to see the Guildmarm from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate make an appearance, and I'd still be down for a more conventional story about an up-and-coming hunter climbing the hunting g𓆏uild ladder, but you can't have everything in life. 

In 2016, Anderson said the Monster Hunter movie is meant to kickstart a new film franchise, and that the sequel is already in planning. 

Despite some rough edges in the plot and character departments, Freyne’s blend of kitchen-sink pungency, charged politics, and pummelling shocks harnesses the conviction needed to hold up besides its more obvious precedents. Echoing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:28 Days Later via the BBC’s dearly departed In The Flesh, Freyne conjures a set-up in which 75 per cent of those infected by Ireland’s zombifying Maze Virus have been cured, the ‘resistant’ remaiওnder quarantined. Discharged to live with sister-in-law 𒀰Abbie (Ellen Page) and her son, recovered zombie Senan (Sam Keeley) faces close monitoring and deep social prejudice. And his wobbly position is not steadied by secrets pertaining to what happened between him and Abbie’s husband.

But Senan is not alone. There’s Conor (Tom Vaughan-ღLawlor), a barrister-turned-cured-zombie lumbered with custodial work. And a resistance group has formed of ex-zombies dead set on incinerating zombie-phobia, making the threat of internecine conflict seem inevitable.

Terror and terrorism, bombs and bite, resentment and 🍸reintegration: even if the powder-keg subtexts aren’t subtle, Freyne deploys the tools at his disposal to land them with a wallop. Jens Rosenlund Petersen’s fluent sound mix ranges from suspense-building near-silence (hungry panting aside...) to slamming shocks with an assaultive clout that makes the jump-jolts hit home. Adding emotional ballast to his metaphors and something-around-the-corner scaꦦres, Freyne works in the fertile idea that the cured can recall their time as drooling beasties, every guilty (and messy) chow-down included.

I🦩f these densely layered themes aren’t always fully integrated with the demands of characterisation, the compensations are many. Piers McGrail’s crisp cinematography, some sharp set-design conceits (watch out for the bus posters...) and a mordant gag about McDonald’s combine nicely to create a well-wrought realisation of a traumatised Ireland, whose history lends the unmistakable punch of specifics to Freyne’s take on nations scarred by division.

Against this persuasive backdrop, the cast give it their all. Between this and the💛 rootsy ass♒urance of Freyne’s handling, the dead just banked another lunge at redemption.

Mara - who earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander - was speaking to ahead of the release of her upcoming romantic drama Carol, and by all accounts the actress is determined to play the resourceful hac🥃ker again: "As far as I know I’m doing it until someone tells me otherwise. I’m doing it unless s𓂃omeone tells me that I’m not, and then I still might do it".

It seems a little strange that Sony producers Amy Pascal and Scott Rudin haven't reached out to Mara to let her know the status on a Dragon Tattoo sequel or otherwise. If the previously reported reboot is going ahead, replacing the lead actress 🅠would make sense. At the same time, considering how good Mara was in the role - and how resolved she seems to be in wanting to reprise it - it would make an equal amount of sense for Sony to keep her on. Looks like someone has a decision to make...

The second book in the series is The Girl Who Played with Fire, but according to Sony are skipping straight to the fourth book, The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Steven Knight has been tapped to write the screenplay, and Mara and her co-star Daniel Cr💫aig won't be returning. That leaves the door open for other talented thespians to join the popular franchise, and is reporting that Alicia Vikander is an early favourite to claim the role.

Vikander's involvement is not surprising as over the past two years she's established herself as one of Hollywood's brightest young stars with films such as Ex Machina, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Danish Girl. Plus, with a major role in Bourne 5 coming up soon, her star♏ is only set to rꦗise. As Mara replacements go, you could do far worse.

LIFE

According to Ansel Adams, there are always two people in every photograph: the person whos in it and the person who took it. That description springs to mind watching Life, snapper-turned-director Anton Corbijns study of the relationship between photojournalist Dennis Stock and 50s teen icon James Dean. Avoiding the obvious angles, Corbijn frames Life (as in Life Magazine) as a snapshot of Stock and Dean at their most interesting moment both teetering on the cusp of fame and fortune, and both reluctantly using and abusing each other to try and get ahead. Set in a few wet weeks before the release of East Of Eden in 1955, it paints Dean (Dane Dehaan) as a man unsure he even wants to be a film star. Mumbling through interviews, playing the bongos in a cow field and taking speed with Eartha Kitt in seedy New York nightclubs, Dehaans Dean is a strung-out beatnik who likes to keep reminding himself that hes a rebel without a cause. Even more conflicted is Stock (Robert Pattinson), the over-eager agency hack whos washed-up at 27, constantly shelving his personal problems to try and dig himself out of his creative rut. With the balance of their friendship hinging on whos getting the most out of it, Life amounts to an elegantly crafted, intensely cynical, double portrait of the artist as a young man. Dehaan winces and whines through Deans hipster lingo, delivering a mesmerising, twitchy performance that somehow still gets overshadowed by Pattinsons quiet background presence. Its tempting to read the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Twilight stars turn as deeply personal, given hes playing someone hankering to be taken seriously in his field. Intimately played but shot at a professional distance, Life chills everything with a steely winter palette; the effect is to bring Stocks most famous frames to life with slightly more depth of field than depth of feeling. Cold but cutting, its a sad, beautiful Beat biopic THE VERDICT: DeHaan and Pattinson are both on career-best form in Anton Corbijns stylish, chilly love letter to his favourite photographer. Life is beautiful even when its full of ugly ambition. Director: Anton Corbijn Starring: Robert Pattinson, Dane DeHaan, Joel Edgerton, Ben Kingsley Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Paul Bradshaw

99 HOMES

An Englishmans home is his castle, even if the Englishman in question (Andrew Garfield) is playing an American one Dennis Nash, a single dad who is kicked out of the Orlando house he shares with mum Lynn (Laura Dern) and son Connor (Noah Lomax) when they fall behind on the mortgage payments. The man wielding the eviction notice is one Rick Carver (Michael Shannon), a real-estate broker who is making a killing refurbishing repossessed residences (at uncle Sams expense!) and selling them on for a profit. Yet instead of contemplating a killing of his own, Dennis goes to work for this pitiless scumbag, discovering along the way he has a talent for inflicting the same humiliations he himself has suffered. A Faustian morality tale with topical trappings, 99 Homes is an indignant film about a pressing societal imbalance whose sympathies are clearly with the people whose belongings end up on the sidewalk. Yet its also one in which the devil gets all the best lines. Shannons Carver justifies his conduct with America is for winners! rhetoric Gordon Gekko might have spouted three decades hence. Stood next to this sneering, vaping, grandstanding powder keg, Garfields conflicted, wavering everyman cant help but seem the lesser character, even if he does have the more significant arc. Given its a story about odds being stacked against the little guy, its strange that director Ramin Bahrani (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Goodbye Solo, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man Push Cart) lets his nominal hero be so comprehensively outgunned. Then again, as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Training Day showed, there is always a fascination in watching a callow novice get seduced by a charismatic scoundrel, especially one who knows how to manipulate the law to feather his own nest. Yet perhaps Bahranis greater achievement is to make the minutiae of property foreclosure no less compelling: a scene in which Garfield steals a vacated homes air conditioner has all the sweaty tension of a bank heist or drug raid. THE VERDICT: Whos that knocking at the door? Pray it isnt Shannon, icily magnetic as a man who collects houses like hes playing real-life Monopoly. If only Garfield had a part to match. Director: Ramin Bahrani Starring: Andrew Garfield, Michael Shannon, Tim Guinee, Laura Dern, Noah Lomax, Clancy Bro Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Neil Smith

JUST JIM

Hugely influenced here by his role in Richard Ayoades 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Submarine, actor Craig Roberts makes his debut as writer/director at the grand old age of 23, no less with this oddball coming-of-age yarn set in rural Wales. Roberts plays Jim, a social outcast at school who, out of the blue, is taken under the wing of his new neighbour, the American-born Dean (Emile Hirsch), who promises to make him cool. Despite the debt to Ayoade, it still feels personal: the dialogue is sharp, the humour wicked and the atmosphere off-kilter. While the final act unravels, for a first feature its impressive. Director: Craig Roberts Starring: Craig Roberts, Emile Hirsch, Nia Roberts, Richard Harrington, Aneirin Hughes Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 James Mottram

ARCADE FIRE: THE REFLEKTOR TAPES

Fusing fancy dress, Caribbean carnivals and Kierkegaard in a dizzy kaleidoscope of sounds and images, The Reflektor Tapes is exactly the sort of concert film youd expect from alt-rockers Arcade Fire. Recontextualising the album experience, its a sub-sonic nosedive through the bands collective subconscious as they write, record and perform their 2013 LP, Reflektor. About as abstract as it sounds, Kahlil Josephs experimental doc also finds space for some intimate interviews with the band. Essential watching/listening/chin-scratching for any fan. Director: Kahlil Joseph Starring: Will Butler, Regine Chassagne, Richard Reed Parry, Win Butler, Tim Kingsbury Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Paul Bradshaw

ORION: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING

After 2013S 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Great Hip Hop Hoax, Brit docu-maker Jeanie Finlay excavates a forgotten rocknroll swindle in her haunting reverie on fame and ambition. Finlays subject is Alabamas Jimmy Ellis, an Elvis Presley-ish singer who enjoyed late-70s success as masked mystery man Orion. Grieving Elvis fans swallowed the fantasy that the King lived, until dodgy management and creative frustration Ellis hated being masked killed the dream. Her approach isnt radical, but Finlay explores fames wicked game stylishly, conjuring sly truths about the intangibility of success. Director: Jeanie Finlay Starring: Jimmy Ellis, Shelby Singleton, Jim Ellis Jr, Nannette Uselton Clark, Michael McCall, Nancy Crowson Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Kevin Harley

PALIO

In Siena, a horse race exists that (depending on your capacity for cynicism) either makes a complete mockery of the sport or a fun fetish of its potential for illicit goings-on. As Cosima Spenders dazzling documentary makes clear, the centuries-old Palio, comprising 17 competing districts, is a game of legitimate corruption, where bribery is near-compulsory, riderless horses can still win (even if the jockey has fallen off mid-race), and riders are allowed to flay one another alive with dried ox penises making these 90-second races more akin to Rollerball with hooves. Frenetic, startling and brutal. Director: Cosima Spender Starring: Gigi Bruschelli, Giovanni Atzeni Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Ali Catterall

MISS YOU ALREADY

It would be easy to be cynical about this cancer-centric dramedy given the recent spate of weepies wringing the subject for every last tear; sadly, Miss You Already does itself few favours as it follows rebellious Milly (Toni Collette) and her struggle with the disease, supported by jolly best bud Jess (Drew Barrymore). Director Catherine Hardwickes (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Twilight) middle-class vision of London life grates, and much of the humour falls flat. Collette, though, delivers an upsetting, vanity-free turn that cuts to the truth of this devastating disease. If only the rest of the film had followed her lead. Director: Catherine Hardwicke Starring: Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette, Dominic Cooper, Paddy Considine Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Josh Winning

MIA MADRE

Both a film about filmmaking and a shrewdly understated character study, Italian writer/director Nanni Morettis Mia Madre focusses on middle-aged director Margherita (Margherita Buy), whose mother (Giulia Lazzarini) lies terminally ill in a Rome hospital. margherita is also in the thick of a problematic film shoot, in which the temperamental star (an amusing John Turturro) is struggling to even remember his lines. Moretti sensitively explores the unexpected feelings thrown up by an impending bereavement: its his most satisfying work since 2001s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Sons Room. Director: Nanni Moretti Starring: John Turturro, Margherita Buy, Giulia Lazzarini Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Tom Dawson

MCFARLAND, USA

Hot on the heels of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Draft Day and stirring fond memories of Bull Durham, Field Of Dreams and Tin Cup comes yet another Kevin Costner sports movie. He plays Jim White, a disgraced football coach whos no sooner moved to McFarland, CA than he spies the running potential of some of his dirt poor Mexican students, and starts a crosscountry team. Its a true story, albeit clichd and Disneyfied as Kev learns to embrace the Latino culture en route to a predestined finale. But hey, the manipulations work and Costners homely charm is very much in evidence. Director: Niki Caro Starring: Kevin Costener , Maria Bello, Morgan Saylor, Martha Higareda, Michael Aguero, Sergio AvelarTheatrical release: 25 September 2015 Jamie Graham

LESSONS IN LOVE

Richard (Pierce Brosnan) is a Cambridge prof whose love of Byron extends to his Lothario lifestyle, yet a move to America with new flame Jessica Alba sparks belated growing up. Tom Vaughans farce is a tonal misfire, its soft-focus satire marooned between outdated, offensive British bawdiness and banal Californian self-help platitudes. Only a suitably louche Brosnan anchors an unsettled plot that desperately scrambles Duis, deportations and unconvincing romantic complications with Salma Hayek (Albas disapproving sister). Vaughan once nailed this genre in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starter For 10, but fails his university challenge here. Director: Tom Vaughn Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Malcolm McDowell, Ben McKenzieTheatrical release: 25 September 2015 Simon Kinnear

CAPTIVE

Veteran TV director Jerry Jameson fails to think bigger than the small screen with this flat, preachy true story drama about a killer on the run (David Oyelowo) connecting with the recovering drug addict he takes hostage (Kate Mara). Both leads fully commit, but they cant save a film lacking in drive. With focus given to both characters finding faith during their confinement, their road to redemption seems implausible, and dubious morals abound. Not least because we are expected to sympathise with a multiple murderer just because he starts paying attention to a self-help book. Director: Jerry Jameson Starring: Kate Mara, David Oyelowo, Mimi Rogers Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Matt Looker

SOLACE

Any film in which an FBI agent asks Anthony Hopkins to help him track down a serial killer risks comparisons to a certain 1991 Oscar grabber. This time around, he plays a resting clairvoyant whose psychic powers are the only thing standing between a loony toon who offs terminal cases and his next victim. Throw in Abbie Cornish as a Clarice-alike and some Matrix-aping slo-mo, and its clear Brazilian director Afonso Poyart is struggling for new ideas. Hopkins breezes through it all with a twinkly charm, but he is all that props up this derivative grab-bag of gotcha shocks. Director: Afonso Poyart Starring: Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Abbie Cornish Theatrical release: 25 September 2015 Neil Smith

GamesRadar+ caught up with Skrein at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:San Diego Comic-Con 2015 to find out more, and in the process learned about martial arts, how The Transporter is like Doctor Who, and Skrein's favorite superhero. (Personal sidenote: solid choice, Mr. Skrein) ๊Y🎃ou can watch the entire interview below:

Jake Gyllenhaal gives not 🔯one magnetic, alert yet opaque 🐻performance here. He gives two.

As history prof Adam Bell, Gyllenhaal is a dry, corduroy sad-sack. As doppelganger actor Anthony St Claire, he’s all sunglasses, leather jacket and sex appeal. When Bell fixates on St Claire after seeing him on DVD and dreaming of him, director Denis Villeneuve (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Prisoners) tips us into dream-state cinema. As Bell stalks St Claire, identities blur, pregnant/not pregnant lovers (Mélanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon) look on suspiciously, and the shadows of two movie giants loom heavily: Lynch for surrealism, Hitchc🍒ock for suspense.

Anyone expecting clarity might be alienated right from the sex-club intro. But Enemy isn’t just an exercise in obscurity. The sound mix alone induces shudders, ✤ranging from a nerve-tensing hum to aꦰ score (from Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans) that never lets its grip slip.

Villeneuve directs with a similarly tight fist, his hold becoming more decisive as ambiguities mount up. He knows how to use humour (Isabella Rossellini’s knowing cameo) and humanity (Ga🌜don’s anchoring performance) to stave off charges of pretension. He knows the value of juggling provocative themes – about masculinity, infidelity, duplicity – without dropping. And he recognises the value of Gyllenhaal, sharpened by working for a director who knows he can withstand a bit of stretching.

If you leave wondering if En൲emy is a study in identity’s slippery boundaries, a riff on urban unease or just an arachnophobe’s hell, you’ll also leave knowing you’ve watched something that merits repeat viewing.

After two middling installments, the third Night At The Museum is finally one to remember – though not perhaps for the reasons Ben Stiller and director Shawn Levy might have hoped for when they began shooting their London-based trilogy-closer last February. Since then, of course, we’ve bid farewell to both Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams, lending a poignancy to proceedings that, if unearned,🌜 still makes for a more touching finale than fans of the film’s 2006 and 2009 predecessors ▨may have been expecting.

There's also an element of genuine jeopardy this time around, a weird “green rust” on the series’ Egyptian relic-slash-MacGuffin threatening to rob it of its exhibit-animating powers. That’s bad news for Williams' Teddy Roosevelt mannequin, Owen Wilson’s miniature cowboy and the rest of Stiller’s nocturnal buddies, though not for a series that benefits hugely from a plot-man⛄dated change of locale, a new (British) museum and a fresh bunch of waxworks for night-owl Larry to hang with.

Ok, so we could have done without Stiller’s caveman doppelganger ‘Laaa’. But this is more than compensated for by Dan Stevens’ Lancelot, a swaggering newbie straight out of Python with a Buzz Lightyear-like aversion to admitting he’s not real. The scene in which he gatecrashes a revival of Camelot is a particular hoot. B🎐ut the most inventive sequence has Larry and Teddy plunge into an MC Escher painting, an i♎nterlude so dazzling you can almost overlook the weeing monkey.

🎶Throw in Ben Kingsley as a Pharaoh, a giant serpent and some living Elgin Marbles and this is a surprisingly decent send-off for a saga that’s taken a while to come to life. One question though. Is it a legal requirement that every montage of the English capital be sℱcored with ‘London Calling’?

Directed by Matt Reeves and written by Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the movie (the eighth cinema release in the Apes franchise) also stars Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. For its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blu-ray release (already out 👍in the UK and Australia, out Tuesday 2 December in the US) GamesRadar+ got to travel to their Wellington studio to see firsthand how they turned actors into apes.

Some things change, while others stay the same. While motion capture has come a long way since The Lord Of The Rings, the tight🍃 lycra body suit is a staple of motion cap🎉ture.

Thats because the reference points those shin♏y balls that reflect the infrared light thats used to record mocap data cant move around on the actors body or else they throw the mocap data all out of whack.

For Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, the team at Weta created a robust, ❀active mocap jumpsuit. Instead of using reflective balls 🍒located around the body, it instead uses a series of infrared LEDs powered by a compact battery pack worn on the back of the suit.

This system allowed the Weta team to record motion capture data on location in the Vancouver rainforest rather than their warehouse mocap studio in Wellington, giving the cast and crew a much more nat🍎ural recording environment.

Once the actors are all suited up, they stand on a small stage and get scanned for a series of 🃏bodily movements. These scans are recorded in real time to test the actors range of movement in a variety of pꦆoses and actions.

Some software then compresses the actors dimensions to that of the digital character they are playing, be it a slightly shorter, more muscular chimp in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, or a taller, lankier Navi in Avatar.

Wetas mocap studio consists of several rooms, with an array of special cameras cওarefully set up around each room. Each camera lens is surrounded by powerful infrared LED lights, which beam out invisible light that reflects off the balls on the actors lycra suit. The cameras then record that information in three dimensions in real time.

The software is intelligent enough t🔯hat it can superimpose characters on set into the shot with a low-resolution model of the actors character in real time, giving the team the opportunity to record the action in multiple takes, alജl without leaving the studio.

Because ape biology is somewhat different to human biology, what with the longer arms and powerful shoulders, for certain scenes the actors needed to walk around on set using special crutch-like arm extenꦚsions.

Accordi⛎ng to some of the actors used in the film, it took about an hours worth of intense training to get the hang of ape-movement, and was a pretty incredible thigh workout.

What makes the Weta motion capture technology so impressive isnt just the characters movement, but the emotive performances the actors give. To capture th🧜at performance, the lead actors would often wear a head-mounted faꦗce camera, that captured every minute detail of the actors facial performance in real time.

This performance gave the animators a detailed reference that𓄧 they could use to make the apes in the moཧvie convey the wide gamut of emotions needed.

Theres a lot more to creating the final apes performance than just recording the actors face though. The team at Weta create highly detailed 🤡computer models of each character, based on real human and ape ༒biology, with the ability to control every part of the apes face.

The model for Andy Serkis Ceasar, for example had over 240 muscle sets to control, giving🅺 the animators the tools to recreate every aspect of Serkis performance.

Once the facial model has been completed, its up to the animators to fine-tune 𓂃the end result. Often, its a case of adding imperfections to create a level of believabiཧlity, from leaves and dirt in the apes hair, to developing a system to display the effects of rain on the apes face and body.

In many cases, viewers wont actually notice many of t﷽he things the animators add to the frame, which is exactly what the effects team wants once you stop seeing a CGI creation and instead watch the digital character, their work is done. Thanks to Fox Australia for organising the trip to Weta to see the magic happen!

What’s the difference between a dawn and a rise? If you assume that the dawn of something is its first appearance and the rise is its ascension, then the titles of 2011’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and this latest instalment shou🌃ld really have been swapped. Setting aside this semantic rabbit hole, though, it’s fair to꧋ say that Andy Serkis has been front and centre for both the dawn and the rise of motion capture.

Gollum was the first fully realised character performed through motion capture, but he was one compelling figure out of many in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, whereas Serkis’ wounded, dignified ape Caesar represents the first mo-cap character to surpass his human counterparts. In Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, it’s Caesar and his fellow primates who bring the suspense, the stakes, the emotional payoff and even much of the humour🐬, in contrast to the underwritten people in the mix. In short, th༺e apes are the reason to watch.

That’s a double-edged sword for Matt Reeves’ hardened sequel, which takes place 10 years on from its predecessor, in a world where a killer virus has wiped out most of human civilisation and allowed apes to rule. Interspecies tensions run high, but a small band of survivors, led by Jason Clarke’s Malcolm attempt to r♒econcile with Caesar and his kind, in the hopes of securing a power source for the San Francisco tower in which they live.

While the script from Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver is never heavy-handed in its allegory, the real-world weight of Dawn’s conflict is tangible: humans carry guns out of fear, which only fosters hostility in the apes who encounter them, leading inevitably to messy standoffs. It’s via a handful of misunderstandings that the war escalates, with ra🦂ge-fuelled ape Koba (Toby Kebbell) spinning lies in a bid to snatch power from Caesar. Even as the conflict becomes more and more clearly exposed as a farce, the aggressors on both sides – Gary Oldman’s essentially decent but fearful Dreyfus being the human equivalent to Koba𝓰 – only grow more determined to win by any means necessary.

The production was beset early on by troubling behind-the-scenes rumours, with Rise director Rupert Wyatt bowing out over creative differences and (reportedly) a too-tight production schedule. Whatever the truth, there’s nothing remotely rushed about Reeves’ imposing and brutal depiction of a gutted San Francisco. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was all about good intentions, and Dawn paints an effectively hellish portrait of wher💝e that pave꧃d road has led.

Clarke’s hollowed-out yet hopeful Malcolm is the most nu♒anced of the human characters, largely by virtue of his touching dynamic with Caesar who shares his optimism and desire for peace. But Keri Russell is wasted as former CDC nurse Ellie, whose sole role is to tag supportively along behind Malcolm before disappearing for the final act, whil🌳e Caesar’s simian love interest Cornelia (Judy Greer) has barely two minutes of screen time.

This is a dystopian future in which the Y chromosome holds absolute power, which you can see either as an intentional foible, or an irritating blind spot. Between the time jump and Reeves’ washed-out, bleak visu💦als, the more innocent world of Rise feels very distant indeed, but the emotional significance of those events is sustained. In one key moment Caesa🦂r watches decade-old footage of himself with his former human owner Will (James Franco), a bond that has echoes in the relationship that forms with Malcolm.

It’s just one of many moving, thrillingly detailed pieces of acting from Serkis, who has never been better served by the mo-cap technology🦹. Despite its thiℱnly drawn humans, DOTPOTA is a soulful, thrilling blockbuster packed with genuine tension and subtle political commentary, leading to a climax that elegantly combines payoff and setup.

has released a new featurette online, showing off the film's remarkable visual effects in all their glory.

The technological whizzes at WETA have been helping out in that regard, with director Matt Reeves describing the studio as having taken "a quantum leap forward".

As a result, we have the most realistic-looking simians the franchise has ever seen. You will believe that an ape can operate a shotgun!

Take a look at the new video, below...

Needless to say, the finished product looks utterly jaw-dropping. We genuinely can't wait to see this one on the big screen...

Directed by Reeves and co-starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.

In issue 221 of , Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves has big ambitions for this summer's simian action blockbuster.

Inside the issue - - Reeves admits that he's planning for🐎 a smarter,📖 sharper and serious sequel to 2011's surprise hit.

"I wanted it to be Apocalypse Now. .. I wanted it to be Lawrence of Arabia " the director sm♛iled, before stopping to reconsider😼.

"No, think The Godfather with apes."

A new poster has arrived online for , in which Caesar mounts up to lead his troops into battle.

Clutching some heavy-duty firepower and riding his horse like a pro, it's clear that the ten intervening years since the first film have seen the apes evolve still further, while human society has dwindled away to nothing.

Or rather next to nothing, as there are still a band of human survivors planning to redress the balance and reclaim Earth from their hairy ancestors.

It's those increasingly desperate humans that Caesar will be leading his troops against, with any chance of peaceful coexistence looking a long way off at this point…

Directed by Matt Reeves and co-starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.

Andy Serkis has been talking about what we can expect from , outlining how the film picks up with the apes some ten years after the events of the first film.

"It sets up a world where you’re finally in a beautiful, utopian Garden of Eden," explains Serkis, "that is suddenly shattered in a violent and dramatic way."

"Caesar has galvanised all these tribes of apes, and it’s succeeding, it’s working," he continues. "The next generation is becoming educated; the design of their community reflects their intelligence."

"They are resourceful, they can build aqueducts, they have plentiful food supplies, they respect each other as different species: gorilla, orangutan, chimpanzee can all speak equally and communicate equally. Until the arrival of human beings…”

As to the continuing popularity of the series, Serkis is convinced that the film's political message is one that continues to resonate with the release of each new film in the franchise.

"I think these films were always about civil rights," he says, "and I think that metaphor carries through and resonates with audiences worldwide. Why do you think the Apes franchise has endured so long?"

Directed by Matt Reeves and co-starring Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke and Keri Russell, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.

We at TF towers are hugely excited about the imminent release of , so we're hopping up and down like delighted chimps to have gotten our mitts on an exclusive featurette that goes behind the scenes of the sci-fi sequel.

Entitled 'Ape Evolution', the featurette offers a rare look at the likes of Andy Serkis, Toby ꧃Kebbell and Nick Thurston performing their ape roles while a real-time CGI version ꩲof Caesar, Koba et al mirror them perfectly.

It gives a fantastic insight into just how much of the actors' mo-cap movements end up in the final character, with e𝓡very furrowed brow and lip curl translating perfectly on screen.

Check out the featurette below...

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes opens in the UK on 17 July 2014.

While Andy Serkis will be front and centre once more in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes , it had been assumed that James Franco had been written out of the sequel, set some 22 years after the events of the first film.

However, according to director Matt Reeves, we might just get a second glimpse of Franco's character, if only in a cameo capacity…

"There is an appearance that he makes," teases Reeves, before clarifying, "there’s no reprise of the footage that they shot of his death or anything like that."

"Essentially the idea is that Caesar has ties to both communities, to the humans because he has a human father in Will, who died in the viral apocalypse, and then he has the apes who are his family now, so of course he has ties to both."

"So, in a way that I won’t totally give away, we essentially have a moment where you have Caesar sort of reminiscing or connecting to who Will was and what he meant to him."

The relationship between Will and Caesar was one of the sweeter elements of the first film, so it's nice to hear that there is a nod to it in the sequel, along with all the apes-with-shotguns excitement.

Directed by Reeves and co-starring Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman and Keri Russell, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.

As a new lobby boy, Moustafa – then known as Zero (newcomer Tony Revolori) – is taken under the wing of the effete yet efficient M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), whose adoration of elderly guest Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), sets in motion a Hitchcockian concoction of heists, screwball and literal cliffhangers.

Familiar Anderson trademarks say hello (books, trains, fonts…) but it’s the unexpected moments that make the director impossible to imitate: M. Jean (Jason Schwartzman) leaning nosily into the back of a shot; chanting monks merging with the soundtrack; a bloodless shootout beneath a vast glass skylight...

Long tracking shots along corridors, through door frames and down stairwells amplify the feeling of being within an institution, whether suite or cell, as Alexandre Desplat’s deft score recalls Mark Mothersbaugh’s violin riffs from .

And while old friends drop by – Bill Murray and Owen Wilson play concierges while Adrien Brody snarls as Madame D.’s son, Dmitri – new additions to the ensemble blend in beautifully: Revolori reminiscent of ’s Max Fischer; Saoirse Ronan as apprentice pâtissier Agatha (whose elegant birthmark is less a blemish than a flourish) and Fiennes, who has surely never had – or been – so much fun on screen.

Every second in smooth-talking M. Gustave’s company is a joy; and there’s a great running gag that sees his penchant for poetry-quoting eternally interrupted by prison sirens, hunger or the outbreak of WW2. True, those who find Anders♈on’s work precious, pretentious and/or overly quirky might not be co﷽nverted, but fans will find their idol on dazzling form.

One of this year's most surprising Oscar nomination snubs came courtesy of Robert Redford being overlooked for his incredible performance in survival drama All is Lost - and we caught up with the star at the launch of this year's Sundance Film Festival to get his take on the nominations.

“I was so happy to be able to do this film because it was i🀅ndependent,” ꧂said Sundance Film Festival founder and president Redford, at the Day One press conference in Park City, Utah, when asked how he felt about being overlooked for the Best Actor Oscar.

“Would it have been wonde☂rful to be nominated – of course. But I’m not🌄 disturbed by it or upset by it. I’m happy about the film. The rest is not my business. I’m fine.”

The star went on to talk about how J C C🐬handor’s lost at 🎉sea drama “Gave me the chance as an actor to go back to my roots” because of its pared down nature with minimal dialogue or effects."

But he was keen to reiterate that he didn’t want the snub to get in the way 🎉of the festival’s message,

Talking about Sundance, now in is 30th year, Redford emphasised the festival’s importance as a platform for showcasing independent 🌸cinema, reiterating that the festival’s not for profit status and ethos means they’re not in the business of business.

“We’re not interested in the money. It🐟’s about creating new voi𒈔ces in independent film,” he said.

“T🍃he history and the product speak for itself in terms of independent film and the opportunities we’ve given people. [Oscar nominees] David O Russell, Alfonso Cuaron, they’ve al been through our festival.”

In addition, four of the five best documentaries nominated for this year's Oscars were screened as Sundance whichౠ prides itself on its strong documentary programme.

This year’s festival showcases movies from 37 different countries, with new strands this year focusing on children’s film, plus New Frontiers as well as the world and US independent dramatic strands🥀 and a host of premieres boasting A-List talent.

“The ambition was to create a community o💮f like minded people to share their work.”

H𒉰e said.♍ “At Sundance we’ve provided a safe place – a place where people can find out who they are and be who they are.”

It's a modus operandi shown in full force in this year's line-up - and we've handily condensed the program into the .

As for All is Lost , we can't help but agree his performance was pretty amazing - in fact, we included it in our list of the .

And he's not the only one weighing in on this year's Oscar nominations - we spoke to Girls star Allison Williams about Tom Hanks missing out on an Oscar for Captain Phillips . She had words...

may still be a few months away from arriving in cinemas, but that hasn’t stopped Fox from rewarding Matt Reeves with the director’s chair on the film’s planned follow-up.

Fox is clearly happy with Reeves’ work on Dawn , as the director has been officially rehired to direct the as-yet-untitled sequel, with a writing position also under discussion.

Should negotiations progress as planned, Reeves will co-write the script with Mark Bomback, who also rewrote the Dawn script when Reeves was brought in to replace Rupert Wyatt.

Although schedules have yet to be confirmed, it is thought likely that Reeves will move straight onto the next Apes film once his work on the first sequel is completed.

That film is set to arrive in UK screens on 17 July 2014, with returning star Andy Serkis set to be joined by a host of ne🌼wcomers including Gary Oldman, Keri Russell and Jason Clarke.

Verdict:

With no 3D, no friends and no hope, Redford and Chandor show how survivalist instincts can stoke thrilling, thoughtful cinema. If grabbed you, hop aboard and hold tight.

A new teaser trailer for has swung online, and those damn, dirty apes take a back seat to the humans this time around.

Set 15 years after 2011's surprisingly-brilliant reboot , tꦆhe sequel catches up with ape Caesar (Andy Serkis), who leads a rabble of intelligent monkeys in a war against the humans.

Th🦩e humans in question are played by Gary Oldman, Keri Russell and Kodi Smit-McPhee💧, all of whom struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic future.

Check out the trailer below...

With Gary Oldman bellowing over some seriously gripping action footage, the only bit of monkey action on offer is a single shot of Caesar looking really badass.

We just got chills. This is going to be good...

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes opens in the UK on 17 July 2014.

But it made enough of an impꦦact on David Gordon Green for him to mount this US remake, set in rural Texas with American talent but otherwise retaining the quiet, unassuming reticence of Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson’s modest original.

That’s 😼despite the casting of Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch, both of whom are willing and able to go big and broad when the occasion demands. Here, though, they’re as muted as the mood of understated melancholy that hangs over this tale of two mismatched road workers charged with repainting lines and 💝replacing reflectors along country thoroughfares in the aftermath of a devastating 1987 forest fire.

Pensive, bookish Alvin (Rudd) does not have a great deal in common with Lance (Hirsh), his girlfriend’s juvenile, horndog brother. Yet sharing a truck, a tent and a campfire in the great outdoors can’t help forging a bond that, the odd bicker and squabble apart, becomes stronger with every pole erected and cat’s eye glued. Matters come to a head when Lance heads off to the nearest city for the weekend, returning with bad news for Alvin and an unsatisfied libido.

But this is not a picture of climaxes, so to speak. Instead, Green opts for a mournful yet humorous character study that plots as stead🙈y a course as the barely used highways upon which what pass🍒es for action takes place.

The stark woodla🧸nd, filmed in a Texan state park ravaged by wildfire nine months before shooti🐎ng, is a gift that lensman Tim Orr makes the most of when not following the leads in a succession of unbroken takes and semi-improvised duologues.

But befor𒈔e you take this as a two-man parade, be aware that there’s support to savour from the late Lance LeGault as a grumpy o𝔉ld trucker who dispenses both hooch and advice.

Verdict:

Green fashions a slow-burn charmer that’s a million miles from in tone, pace and content. But just like that film, the odd couple interplay is beautifully judged.

Prince Avalanche , the Sundance charmer starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch, is hitting UK cinemas in October 2013, and we’ve got our hands on the exclusive UK trailer.

Rudd and Hirsch play Alvin and Lance, a pair of highway workers tasked with painting the lines on a long winding stretch of road over the course of the summer of ’88.

If that sounds deathly dull, fear not, as the film focuses on the odd-couple banter between the pair, as evidenced in the trailer below. Adapted by David Gordon Green from an Icelandic original, the film has a laidback tone befitting the scenic views.

Watch the UK trailer for Prince Avalanche online now:

Prince Avalanche opens in the UK on 18 October 2013.

To find out why Green dressed his characters like ‘apocalyptic Super Mario Bros’ pick up a copy of issue 210 of Total Film magazine, which is out now, for the 🧜lowdown from Green🐻 and Hirsch.

Inside the issue, you’ll find full Comic-Con coverage of the likes of , , , Edge Of Tomorrow , , , and more, plus Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Lena Headey, James McAvoy and Matt Damon. Seriously, you’re not going to want to miss this one…

Following the first footage reveal at Comic-Con, Fox has released a first official image from , featuring an angry-looking Caesar.

The new image shows the simian rabble-rouser sporting war paint and leading a swarm of his brothers through the San Francisco woods.

It’s quite a disturbing image, with Caesar (once quite a cuddly chap) looking extremely intimidating. Seems like the apes well and truly have the upper hand…

The new film will pick up some time after the events of its predecessor, with the ape-borne flu having decimated human society, and the fragile peace established between both races growing increasingly unstable.

Directed by Matt Reeves and co-starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Keri Russell, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the US on 18𓃲 July 2🎃014 with a UK date to be confirmed.

Filling the shoes vacated by director Rupert Wyatt is no mean feat, but new director Matt Reeves sounds genuinely excited by how things are progressing on sequel .

“Caesar talks at the end of the movie, he has some level of speech,” recaps Reeves. “I wanted to make sure we’re continuing to go along the path of evolution without missing it, it was so delicious to watch in the first movie.”

“The ape civilization is in the woods, between Vancouver and New Orleans, the world after what happens with the simian virus flu. The two main locales are San Francisco and the Muir Woods where the ape civilization is born.”

And as for the sheer size of the film, Reeves confirms that it will be bigger than any film he has worked on previously.

“The crazy thing is the giant scale of this film, which is enormous for any movie, so much bigger,” says Reeves. “The only way it works is from an emotional intimate point-of-view. It has all the things that drive me to do something, an emotional core, as Andy [ Serkis ], Rupert and Weta did on Rise .”

“It’s not only on a scale for me that is obviously larger than anything I’ve done, but this is also the first movie at this level to do native 3-D on an enormous canvas and mo-cap that is 95 % shot on location. The mo-cap shooting on the first movie was done really on the stage. It’s an exciting learning curve.”

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 18 July 2014.
